New page

This walkthrough covers only the most basic and commonly used settings for sizing the map, displaying a location, and choosing a marker. See the main [[Maps]] page if you want more information on each of these features.

=== Copy/paste the map framework text to your page source. ===
To add a Googlemap-style map to your page, start by pasting in the following:
<pre><nowiki><googlemap
controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes">


</googlemap></nowiki></pre>

To add a Condmap-style map to your page, start by pasting in the following:

<pre><nowiki>{{CondMap|





}}</nowiki></pre>

=== Add a location to the map. ===
This step is the same whether you're using a Googlemap-style or Condmap-style map.

For a map location, you can choose a marker (or use the default), and you can set a text description that will pop up when your mouse hovers over the marker.

First, find the coordinates in-game by looking at the top center of your screen or at the top of your minimap. Then, to add the location most simply, just type the coordinates on a new line below the "map locations go here" comment:
<pre>400, 2250</pre>

To add the same location with the description 'My home compound (400, 2550)', type the following below the "map locations go here" comment:
<pre>400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2250)</pre>

Now, when you hover your mouse over that location marker on your map, everything after the first two numbers will pop up as a description.

Finally, to add the same location to the map, but this time with both the description and a marker, type the following below the "map locations go here" comment:
<pre>(GH) 400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2550)</pre>

You will end up with one of these two snippets, each of which will show the same location:

Googlemap style:
<pre><nowiki><googlemap
controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes">

(GH) 400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2550)
</googlemap></nowiki></pre>

Condmap style:
<pre><nowiki>{{CondMap|



(GH) 400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2550)


}}</nowiki></pre>

=== Choosing markers ===

=== Size, zoom, and shift the map's center. ===
If you want your map to show all of Egypt, at a standard size that will fit on a wiki page, there is no need to do anything more. (The default settings will do all of that without you needing to type anything else in.)

If you want to change where your map is centered, its size in pixels, or how far in/out it is zoomed, you will need to add those settings. How you type those settings and where you put them depends on the type of map. For a Google-style map, you can create a new line just ''after'' the "<googlemap" line and just ''before'' the line starting with "controls=small", and place the new text on the new line. For a Condmap-style map, create a new line just ''before'' the last line and ''after'' the "center, zoom, size settings go here" comment.

Keep reading to see '''what''' you actually enter, or go to the [[#Examples|examples]].

==== Centering ====
If you want your map to be centered on your home at -212, 991, then:

For a Google map, add the following (see above for ''where''):

<pre>lat="212" lon="991"</pre>

For a Condmap, add the following (see above for ''where''):
<pre>|lat=-212|lon=991</pre>

==== Sizing ====
For a map that is 300 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall:

For a Google-style map, paste the following (see above for ''where''):
<pre>width="300" height="150"</pre>

For a Condmap=style map, paste the following (see above for ''where''):
<pre>|width=300|height=150</pre>

==== Zooming ====
You can set the zoom value anywhere between 1 and 6: the higher the number, the closer in the zoom. Most maps you see on the wiki are set to a zoom of 2.

If you want a Google-style map zoomed to level 4, paste the following (see above for ''where''):
<pre>zoom=4"</pre>

If you want a Condmap=style map zoomed to level 4, paste the following (see above for ''where''):
<pre>|zoom=4</pre>

==== Examples ====
In a Google-style map, see the new second line:

<pre><nowiki><googlemap
lat="212" lon="991" width="300" height="100" zoom="4"
controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes">

(GH) 400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2550)
</googlemap></nowiki></pre>

In a Condmap-style map, see the new second-to-last line:

<pre><nowiki>{{CondMap|



(GH) 400, 2250, My home compound (400, 2550)


|lat=212|lon=991|width=300|height=100|zoom=4
